This function replaces the collision file of the given model id to the collision file passed. Use engineLoadCOL to load the collision file first.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note:
  • Follow loading order (COL -> TXD -> DFF) which is used in the example - as other orders can cause collisions, textures or the DFF not to load due to technical limitations.
  • Collision libraries (.col files containing multiple collision models) are not supported. See COL for details. Object models are supported only (no vehicles or players).

Syntax

bool engineReplaceCOL ( col theCol, int modelID )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: col:replace(...)


Required Arguments

  • theCol: The collision file to replace with
  • modelID: The model ID whose collision file you want to replace

Returns

Returns true if the collision was successfully replaced, false or nil if the collision could not be replaced for a reason.

Example

See unified example available in engineReplaceModel.
